i mean, i'm a single woman on my own, and at the moment i'm unemployed. but there's people out there that are working threejobs, just to make a living, as a single woman. you know, it's punishment and punishment and punishment. there is no hope any more. there's just nothing. south yorkshire is still loyal labour territory, but the working—class brexit vote has exposed the widening gulf between lives lived here and on the green benches of westminster. and everywhere, the communities that once voted labour, as an ingrained cultural commitment, have been disbursed, with the industries that sustained them. forest green rovers is hardly the average football team — its environmentally responsible approach includes using solar panelling in the stadium and vegan diets. and now they've made club history by being promoted to the english football league. our correspondent andy swiss has been visiting the club at home, in the town of nailsworth

in gloucestershire. welcome to football's newest and unlikeliest outpost — nailsworth. population 5800, pride beyond measure, after this corner of the cotswolds gate—crashed the big—time. forest green rovers‘ win means a town that would have fitted 15 times inside wembley, will be hosting league football next season. not bad for a team dubbed "the little club on the hill". extremely quiet place. it's a village club, and you've only got to drive round the place and you realise there's hardly anyone around. but very close net at forest green, and i think that's why they've become so successful. it's not just what this club has achieved, though, it's the way that it's achieved it. forest green aims to be the greenest and the most environmentally friendly football club in the world. there's solar panels on the stadium, even a solar powered robotic lawn mower, but perhaps most strikingly, the club is all vegan. the players today were tucking
10:32 pm
into meat free pies, while for the fans the only burgers are of the veggie variety. it's their owner's vision, green energy millionaire dale vince, who says both team and supporters have embraced their diet. there are a lot of elite athletes around the world that are vegan or are going vegan. there's a lot of scientific evidence that it's better for elite athletes to be vegan, and that's the reason, part of the reason we did it, and how we kind of presented it to the players, to give them an edge, a performance edge. that club is now planning another first, an all wooden stadium, designed by the late zaha hadid, but for now they're just enjoying their success story. commentator: let me tell you this, cheltenham, swindon, newport, you're going to eat houmous next season, because forest green rovers are in the football league! the tiny club with the big ambition. andy swiss, bbc news, nailsworth. time for the news where you are now.
